Parkinson hits roof over ref

Image: Parkinson: Slams penalty decision

Bradford boss Phil Parkinson was furious with the penalty decision which saw Macclesfield beat his side 1-0.

The game's key moment came in the 65th minute when referee Rob Lewis pointed to the spot after Ross Draper was involved in a collision with Luke Oliver, even though he appeared to have lost control of the ball. Lewis Chalmers duly converted from the spot but Parkinson fumed: "It was an absolutely diabolical decision. "We came out in the second half and dominated. They had one attack and scored from a penalty that never was. "I'm just incredibly disappointed but if we continue to play like that away from home it won't be long before we get our first away win. "I can't use the word 'cheated', that's for the press to make the most of, but all I can say is that we're extremely angry with the referee's performance."
